COLOSTRUM [11 records]

Record 1 2014-01-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Husbandry
CONT

SEW was developed based upon the assumption that disease transmission form the sow to the pig is minimal during the first three weeks of age when the sows milk provides the highest antibody protection for the pig. Basically, sows are immune to diseases that affect the growing pig, but serve as a source of infection to their offspring. Generally, pigs do not get infected a birth but are exposed over time, gradually after birth. Passive protection from colostrum and to a lesser extent, milk immunity may prevent the pig from becoming infected, until that immunity diminishes sometime during lactation or after weaning.

OBS

Segregated early weaning (SEW) may be a management tool Mississippi Swine Producers can utilize to increase production efficiency of their operations and increase profits.

Record 4 2011-01-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Husbandry
CONT

The cow should be in good body condition(BCS 6. 0) at calving which will result in a thrifty calf, and will increase the level of colostrum produced. This will improve general thrift of the calf throughout its early life. The growing calf should receive adequate nutrition to maintain a body condition of 5. 0-6. 0, which will result in an adequate weaning weight, but which will not result in an overly-fat heifer. Fat heifers have reduced milk production later in life and this condition should be avoided. While creep feeding is rarely ever recommended due to high cost and minimal returns, it is still done in some situations. This practice may result in excessively fat heifers and should be discouraged. The heifer needs to weigh at leat 450 lbs at 8 months to continue through the cycle and meet the target weights without needing a high level of nutrition.
